Subclaims¶

q2 i? Simple slopes showed a marginally significant positive association between number talk and math at 1 SD above mean inhibitory control and no significant association at 1 SD below. → Silver 2022

Evidence¶

Silver 2022¶

Silver, A. M., Elliott, L., & Libertus, M. E. (2022). Parental math input is not uniformly beneficial for young children: The moderating role of inhibitory control. Journal of Educational Psychology. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000679

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Simple slopes analyses of the regression model showed that "at high levels of children's inhibitory control (1 SD above the mean)", the association was marginally significant (B = 0.10, p = .076), whereas at 1 SD below it was not significant (B = −0.06, p = .163).

"Simple slopes analyses suggested that, at high levels of children's inhibitory control (1 SD above the mean), there was a marginally significant association between children's math performance and parents' number talk, B = 0.10, 95% CI [−0.01, 0.20], p = .076"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Executive Function — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

Related Claims¶

• Children's inhibitory control is positively related to math achievement as a main effect, independent of parental input — related
• The number talk × inhibitory control interaction is domain-specific: it did not hold for parents' overall talk or for children's vocabulary as the outcome — related
• Children's inhibitory control moderates the association between parental number talk and children's math achievement, with a positive association only at higher inhibitory control — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Parent-reported home math activities showed no significant association with children's math achievement, and inhibitory control did not moderate this null relation — related
